the touch thing can extend. But it maybe differ on each ability user. Kuroko and Misaka had a good range for their AIM while Accel has his AIM only a few milimeter or nanometer from his skin.
Maybe if uiharu grow stronger her AIM field will become bigger. |

she will get injured. Its not like she's immune to it. If you look at the taiyaki in the box. It will probably not to hot plus its not like she's holding it directly. Its the box she's holding and she's constantly monitoring the temperature inside the box. And being a level 1. I presume its not that strong. Pretty much that's all she could do.
Maybe with her ability she can photosynthesis. That's why her flowers never wither. |

Okay, pure speculation about how the flowers could be related to her power, even though they're probably unrelated and the novel/manga/anime writers are just trolling everyone with their hints:
Uiharu's power ostensibly forces objects to maintain a constant temperature. This means her power could potentially force any object with a temperature above absolute zero to: -Become a perfect insulator/reflector that does not absorb any thermal radiation from the environment -Become a continuous power source that emits thermal radiation into the environment at a constant rate Given those assumptions: -What if her power actually affects a 'zone' defined by shaping her AIM, and she just uses actual physical objects as a convenient way to construct the parameters of the 'box?' -What if she can (unconsciously) cause her AIM to reflect/emit other types of electromagnetic radiation, such as light? The mechanics of it would be... weird, to say the least, but that could potentially allow her to create visible 'after images' of things that are no longer there, such as a flower headband that she may have worn years ago, but doesn't have anymore... |

A pair of gloves, however, would be at ambient temperature. As long as she can keep them at ambient temperature, she can use them to grip extremely hot or cold things. There'd be nothing she could do about the temperature of the thing she's holding, but she won't be burned by it. Quote:
I don't think Uiharu will be able to affect anything beyond temperature even at higher levels unless she makes a conceptual breakthrough about how her power ought to work. I say "ought to" because the talk of "personal reality" makes me think esper powers in Academy City work the way they do because their users think they're "supposed to" work that way. What causes things to become hotter or colder? Their atoms vibrating stronger or weaker. Should she make the conceptual link between heat and motion, she might not be able to fling things around like the Accelerator, but she might be able to shake them apart. But right now, her concept of "heat" is this sensation she feels with her skin. So all she can do is keep that sensation the same. |

As always, it's time for me to have some FUN with To Aru physics.
Uiharu can maintain a specific temperature. This means that there will be no transfer of thermal energy while Uiharu is in the area. THIS IS AMAZING. 99.99% of all chemical reactions have a change in entropy. Uiharu can stop this, and therefore stop all chemical reactions. Uiharu touches a person, shut's off the chemical reactions in their brain, and Uiharu wins. Also, almost all physical reactions have some sort of heat release (running has quite a lot, actually). So, in any mechanical system (and most other systems too) Uiharu can keep the heat from being released properly. Now, if you maintain the temperature of the coolant of an engine, or simply don't allow the air or substance around the system to get warmer, something as simple as running will now cause your legs to BOIL because all of the heat is stuck inside. UIHARU WINS THE GAME. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HER. That being said it's quite unlikely that the author of To Aru realizes the implications of trying to make super powers physics based. |

Of course, if she can maintain the temperature of any object she touches, then she should be able to maintain the temperature of her own skin/hand to prevent burning, unless she can't affect her own body yet (like Kuroko couldn't initially teleport herself). |

Assume all she can do is force a specific temperature for an object. If she forces the body temperature of an attacker to much below normal temp, they stop cold in hypothermia, no ifs, ands, or buts. Depending on what temp she selects, it can be anything from debilitating shivering and immobility to instant death. An extremely handy skill for a law enforcer, since she has a range of options to play with. |

That is the case, yes. She's just a level 1 ( or 2?) though, so everybody is now speculating about what she could be capable of if she leveled up. Since her power is specifically to keep the temperature the same, and we've already seen a power user whose power functions in a similar fashion (constant speed), it seems a little unlikely to me that improvements would give her gradient control over temperature, but it's still possible, i guess. We don't have much to go on yet. We don't even know if it's a 'one way' or a 'two way' ability, after all; i.e., can she keep things from heating up in addition to keeping them from cooling down?

level 1.
the power to specifically to keep the temperature the same. Can branch out on lots of way. From freezing and heating up. That's why she's been on hot topic because her ability is interesting. But the problem is its range. Which it could have a little range for practical use. For her a direct contact is hard. |
